DX Caramel Original | The Flavor Apprentice (20/50/100ml)

The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) produces professional food flavorings for DIY mixing and culinary use. DX Caramel Original offers a clean, rounded caramel profile focused on sweetness rather than dark or burnt sugar, designed to work as a versatile caramel layer without heavy buttery tones. As part of the DX line, it is formulated without added diacetyl-type diketones commonly avoided by mixers. This is a highly concentrated aroma intended for dilution only. It is PG-based, water-soluble and widely used in dessert, candy and beverage-style recipes. Note: We purchase in bulk and rebottle into smaller bottles (not original manufacturer packaging).
